At the end of the NBA season, Michael Jordan completed the return of the king in just one season, successfully reached the top, and became the most popular player in the NBA. His position as the number one player in active service has become more stable.
The day after the finals, Zhou Quan didn't get up until noon and went to the headquarters after lunch.
He also met George Karl in general manager Bob Whitsitt's office.
Obviously, the front office continues to trust George Karl.
He didn't have any objection. George Karl was still very capable. It was understandable that he seemed inexperienced in the finals for the first time.
"Iron Fist, I plan to mainly adjust the fifth position and strengthen the bench lineup. What do you think?" General Manager Bob Whitsitt said straight to the point.
Zhou Quan nodded and said: "I'm afraid Erwin Johnson can't support our inside line. It doesn't need to be too good, just someone like Ronny Seikali will do. If we have Seikaly this time, we have a chance to kill the Bulls."
George Karl nodded and said: "We need to find a taller inside man. In addition to providing low-post offense and rebounding, he must have good mobility."
His defensive system is fast and hard to attack. If you find a slow-moving inside line, you will definitely not be able to beat his defensive system.
General manager Bob Whitsitt said: "I think Schrempf at the third position is okay. The offense and defense are not bad. He averaged 14 points per game in the finals and shot 49% from the field. I even think He still has potential."
Zhou Quan said: "Schrempf must stay, he can't beat Pippen, but he won't make us suffer too much at the third position.
Our main problem is the center, from the main player to the substitute, we need to trade and strengthen. Although Perkins' stretching ability is good, his efficiency is too low and not as good as Gill's. "
…
On the 17th, Zhou Quan came to Los Angeles.
At the suggestion of trainer Swelton, he decided to return to China to rest for a while to allow his body to recover before returning to training. Moreover, there is also the World Championships in September, and he also needs to participate.
He first signed a boxing match contract with WBC, and the appearance fee was exactly 10 million US dollars. This was the exchange of commercial value for fame and influence. Many world boxing champions did not have such high appearance fees.
After several days of business activities in Los Angeles, he landed in Xiangcheng on the 21st, and Wang Zuxian came to pick him up.
The two of them often communicate by phone because of basketball, but neither of them has the idea of developing a relationship between men and women. They are just pure friends.
"Zhou Quan, why don't you chase Zeng Huaqian?" Wang Zuxian asked curiously while driving.
"Oh, she wants a stable relationship just like Christina. I can't provide what she needs for the time being." Zhou Quan said a little awkwardly.
"So you are the prodigal love saint." Wang Zuxian said with contempt.
Zhou Quan laughed and asked: "I have three days of business activities in Xiangcheng this time. How about it? Lao Wang, please introduce me to a beautiful woman. I have been vacant for more than half a year."
"Do you think I'm a pimp?" Wang Zuxian said angrily.
"What you're saying is that I'm serious about dating a girlfriend. As long as it's suitable, I can get married." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"real?"
"Really, my family is urging me."
Wang Zuxian thought for a while and suggested: "The people you are looking for are all older than you, several years older. Of course they want a stable relationship. Who can just play with you? I won't be with a younger person like you." Year-old boys fall in love and waste time and affection.
Zhou Quan, why don't I introduce you to a girl of similar age? Guaranteed to be beautiful, a peerless beauty. But you have to promise that even if you can't play around, you should rush to get married. "
"Around the same age? What you said makes sense. Are they from your circle?" Zhou Quan asked.
"Taiwanese, two years younger than you, just turned 20. The year before last, she was 17 years old when she photographed Qiong Yao's plum blossoms. Qiong Yao had been waiting for her for four years. Her name is Cheng De Rong. Her mother and I are school friends. As far as I know, she has not been in love yet," Wang Zuxian said.
"Cheng Derong?"
Zhou Quan recited the name, but he had never heard of it.
Wang Zuxian rolled his eyes at Zhou Quan and said, "You will definitely know when you return to the mainland. Plum Blossom No. 3, starring her, is currently being broadcast in the mainland.
By the way, there was a mainland female star filming Meihualuo with her, her name was, I think, Chen Hong, and she was pretty pretty too. "
"Then introduce him to me together." Zhou Quan said quickly.
"Where are you in the beauty pageant? Didn't you mean what you said?"
"Yes, it's Chen Derong you said."
Wang Zuxian kept his word, and immediately contacted Lin Qingxia, Cheng Derong, Ye Quanzhen, and Wu Qianlian, all from Taiwan, in the name of a party.
"Old Wang, they are all beautiful women. You are so good to me, why don't I chase you." Zhou Quan said with a grateful look on his face.
"You're not like this. I just introduced you to your girlfriend, and you want to repay a favor with a grudge?" Wang Zuxian couldn't help but said angrily.
"Looking at what you said, the person you like is more attractive than me. I'm telling you this because I'm a friend. I think you'd better get out of here in time." Zhou Quan said bluntly.
Wang Zuxian's face couldn't help but darken, and he said again: "Zhou Quan, I'm warning you, don't provoke other people. Except for Cheng Derong, the others are older than you.
Especially Sister Qing, she may be getting married. Don't mess with her. There are a lot of paparazzi in Xiangcheng. Don't make any scandals that affect her. "
"I know, I know. Lao Wang, I really want to have a stable relationship now. After all, I'm older and not as good as before. When I was young, I thought my sister was better. Now that I'm older, I still think my sister is better." Zhou Quan smiled.
Wang Zuxian gritted his teeth and said that he was old in front of her. Was this a mockery of her old age?
"Old Wang, there is another one. If we negotiate, she will have to go to the United States with me." Zhou Quan said.
"Quit the entertainment industry?"
Wang Zuxian was startled, but immediately nodded. Zhou Quan's request reassured her even more.
"Then you have to promise not to harm that little girl. If she goes to the United States with you, she will give up her career here. It will cost a lot." She said seriously.
"Of course, I'm not that kind of person. I didn't even touch Zeng Huaqian." Zhou Quan assured.
"That's good."
…
At five o'clock in the afternoon, at a Western restaurant in the Peninsula Hotel, several female celebrities whom Wang Zuxian had dated arrived one after another.
She made an appointment with Zhou Quan at half past five, so Zhou Quan hadn't arrived yet. After a few people arrived, she said straight to the point: "Sisters, today I plan to introduce a boy to Xiao Rong..."
"What?"
Cheng Derong was startled and panicked.
"I'm so surprised. What's wrong, Xiaorong, won't you talk about your boyfriend in the future?"
Ye Quan rolled his eyes at Cheng Derong, and then said to Wang Zuxian: "Axian, I don't have a boyfriend either. If you don't introduce me to me, what do you mean by introducing me to Xiaorong?"
When Lin Qingxia saw Ye Quanzhen's extremely seductive eyes, she immediately stretched out her hand to pinch Ye Quanzhen's chin and teased: "Azhen, why don't you become my girlfriend."
Ye Quanzhen stretched out his head and said with a charming look on his face: "Sister Qing, the slave is just a follower of the husband, so why not make a move first?"
"Slut!"
Lin Qingxia pushed Ye Quanzhen's face away with a look of disgust.
"Haha..." Several people laughed.
Wu Qianlian smiled and asked curiously: "Axian, you don't know the situation of Xiao Rong's family. The conditions are very high. Who do you want to introduce to Xiao Rong? Even if she is the king in the circle, she may not Take a look."
Cheng Derong smiled awkwardly, but she did not deny it, because this was her standard for choosing a mate. Both Li Min and Zhou Xingxing pursued her, but she did not agree.
Wang Zuxian shook his head and said: "He's not from the circle, but you should know him, Zhou Quan, from the mainland."
"Oh, I know, I know, that's the one who plays basketball in the United States..." Ye Quanzhen immediately raised his hand and shouted.
"Him?"
Lin Qingxia nodded and said: "I also know that he has endorsed many international first-line brands, including Cadillac.
"Axian, you really don't have enough friends. Why don't you introduce such a high-quality boy to me? Xiaorong is still young and can't deal with a love veteran like Zhou Quan. Moreover, Xiaorong's standard must be to marry into a wealthy family. She doesn't like it. Zhou Quan." Ye Quanzhen said.
"Don't you like it?" Wang Zuxian looked at Cheng Derong.
"No, no." Cheng Derong shook his head quickly.
But she was just being polite, because Wang Zuxian was her mother's school friend and was very kind to her. Relying on Wang Zuxian's connections, she successfully integrated into the film circle in Xiangcheng. Now that she is introducing her boyfriend, she cannot directly refute her no matter what. face.
Ye Quanzhen said again: "Xiao Rong, you have signed with Qiong Yao's company a long time ago. Her company has always had a rule that you cannot fall in love, right?"
"Xiao Rong, is it true?" Wang Zuxian was startled and asked hurriedly.
Cheng Derong nodded and said: "Aunt Qiongyao's company has regulations that you cannot fall in love during the contract. When I signed the contract in 1989, she warned me repeatedly."
"What should we do?" Wang Zuxian wanted to scratch his head.
"It's easy to handle, I told you, introduce it to me, and the good thing is that I will give you a big red envelope as the matchmaker." Ye Quanzhen said with a smile.
Wang Zuxian rolled his eyes at Ye Quanzhen and said to her: "Zhou Quan is a typical carnivore. If I introduce you to her, be careful not to get eaten in vain."
Ye Quanzhen patted his chest and said with a bold and charming smile: "Then let him let his horse come over. We don't know who will eat who."
"Pfft, haha..."
Wang Zuxian, Lin Qingxia, and Wu Qianlian burst into laughter.
Only Cheng Derong couldn't laugh, and said a little aggrievedly: "Sister Xian, will you introduce me to me?"
Wang Zuxian smiled and said: "Don't worry, his previous girlfriends are older than him, and he doesn't want to get married so soon, so the conversation won't last long. You and he are about the same age, so it's just right.
And I have asked him repeatedly. Now he also wants a stable relationship. If the relationship is good, marriage is natural. "
"Wow, we are talking about getting married, so sincere! Xiaorong, you are still young, don't be in a hurry, just leave this to me?" Ye Quanzhen said with an envious look on his face.
Lin Qingxia shook her head and said: "Regardless of whether Xiao Rong likes Zhou Quan or not, even if she likes Zhou Quan, Aunt Qiong Yao will not agree to it unless Xiao Rong withdraws from the circle."
Wu Qianlian asked curiously: "Axian, how is he doing?"
Wang Zuxian said: "He is a nice guy, with a good personality and a gentleman. If I were a few years younger, I would pursue him. And he has a bright future in the sports world. He earned at least 20 million US dollars last year and more this year.
By the way, he will have a boxing match in Los Angeles in a while, and the appearance fee will be 10 million US dollars, as well as commercial shares. "
"Wow!"
Even Lin Qingxia, the biggest celebrity here, exclaimed.
Wang Zuxian said: "Last year, my brother's annual income was HK$25 million, and now the income of the four kings is not as high as his."
She looked at Cheng Derong and said: "Xiao Rong, it's really good. No matter how high your conditions are, you can still consider it. A wealthy family is good, but it also has many rules. If you are with Zhou Quan, with his development, you will not be able to do it in the future." It will be bad.”
Lin Qingxia smiled and said: "Xiao Rong can decide for herself and discuss it with her family."
Wang Zuxian said: "If you really want to talk to him, you have to go to the United States with him. You can't fall in love just by making a few phone calls."
When Cheng Derong heard this, the hesitation on his face became even greater.
She is very confident in her appearance and temperament, and has very high standards for choosing a spouse. She marries into a wealthy family in a serious manner, and everything about the other person must be in line with her wishes, including appearance, age, finances, etc., and she absolutely does not want to wrong herself.
But just falling in love made her give up her career. What would she do if they didn't get together in the end?
Wang Zuxian added: "He plays basketball in Seattle. Last year he bought a multi-million dollar villa there. I have seen photos. The environment is a hundred times better than that in the mid-level area of Xiangcheng. In front of the villa is Lake Washington. He plans to build it there." Marina, buy another yacht.”
"Sister Xian, Xiaorong has a contract, but I don't. You should introduce it to me."
Ye Quanzhen was joking before, but now she is really tempted. She doesn't want to let go of such a good opportunity. She will regret it if she lets it go. She also wants to grab her sister's.
"I?"
Cheng Derong became a little anxious and opened his mouth.
Wang Zuxian could see that this little girl was a little tempted. She ignored Ye Quanzhen and said to Cheng Derong: "Well, I'll meet him first later. If you don't feel anything, forget it. If you think it's good, I'll What do you think about asking your mother to talk to you again?"
"Um."
Cheng Derong blushed and nodded.
Ye Quan was really helpless and a little dissatisfied with Wang Zuxian.
Wang Zuxian regretted dating Ye Quan. Cheng Derong was too young, Zhou Quan liked mature women, and this girl was very sexy. What if Zhou Quan fell in love with her?
"Axian." Zhou Quan arrived at this time.
"hehe!"
Wang Zuxian couldn't help but sneer, why don't you call him Lao Wang?
Brigitte Lin and the other four stood up and looked at Zhou Quan with a smile.
Cheng Derong hid behind Brigitte Lin, looking at Zhou Quan furtively and seriously.
It seemed that she felt pretty good at first glance, and the smile on her face made her relax her vigilance and become less nervous.
She felt that Zhou Quan was different from the male stars in the entertainment industry. He looked very energetic, his eyes seemed to be shining, very sharp, and his eyes were a bit domineering...
Zhou Quan glanced at the four girls and paused on Ye Quanzhen's face. Well, this beauty has flavor, her eyes are seductive, and her acting skills must be good.
He quickly locked onto Cheng Derong behind Lin Qingxia. Judging from the age, this should be Cheng Derong. Lao Wang was right, she was indeed a beauty.
